The IDF destroyed a cache of
Iranian Fajr-5 missiles stored in a weapons depot near Damascus this
evening that had the potential to threaten the area surrounding the Galilee,
according to Israeli news agency Nziv.net. A second report released by Nziv,
says that a delegation of senior Hezbollah figures who arrived in Damascus came
under Israeli attack during the airstrikes.

Israel’s air defense system – likely the Arrow – was activated late Tuesday
night against a Syrian anti-aircraft missile, following an alleged Israeli air
strike over the capital of Damascus. Media reports claimed that Israel struck
weapon warehouses near the Syrian capital.

FROM THE JPOST: According to unconfirmed Israeli reports,
the launch was carried out from the northern city of Hadera, with pictures
published on social media of a large tail of smoke heading into the sky and
residents in the Hefer Valley Regional Council also reported hearing the sound
of loud explosion.

It is still unclear whether any Syrian missiles were intercepted from the
IDF’s reported perspective.

Syrian state media reported Tuesday night that regime air defenses
intercepted “hostile targets” west of Damascus during an alleged Israeli air
strike, which according to local reports involved 22 missiles targeting sites
including weapons depots belonging to pro-Iranian militias in Damascus.

Other locations reported by Syrian media to have been
struck during the strike are as follows: pro-Iranian military positions located
in the suburbs of Damascus, air defense facilities and headquarters of the 68th
Brigade and the 137th Brigade of the Syrian Army in the Damascus area, a
military headquarters belonging to the 4th Division of the Syrian Army in the
Al-Muna area surrounding Damascus and military Unit 10 in the district of
Qatana.

The IDF destroyed a cache of Iranian Fajr-5 missiles stored in a
weapons depot near Damascus this evening that had the potential to
threaten the area surrounding the Galilee, according to Israeli news agency
Nziv.net.

A second report released by Nziv, says that a delegation of senior
Hezbollah figures who arrived in Damascus came under Israeli attack during the
airstrikes.

According to the Jerusalem Post’s sister publication Maariv,
the official Syrian news agency SANA reported that a Syrian military official
claimed, “Israeli air force planes attacked tonight, most of the missiles were
intercepted before hitting targets.” Later is was reported that three Syrian
soldiers were wounded and that an ammunition depot was damaged in the attack.

Several people on the ground filmed the rockets shooting
skyward, thought to be S-200 air defense, which is the main system Syria uses.
Locals reported debris and missile strikes near Dimas, Qatana, Saboura and near
Mazzah all west of Damascus. Some of these areas have been targeted in the
past.

In September, Syrian air defense shot down a Russian Il-20 during an Israeli
air raid in Latakia and Russia blamed Israel for the mistake. Since then the
number of incidents in which Syria has alleged Israeli air strikes has
decreased. Syria was given the S-300 more advanced system by Moscow, but it is
not clear if the system is operational.

Earlier on Tuesday, Lebanese media reported that Israeli Air Force jets had
been circling over the southern part of the country before the strike on the
Syrian capital.

KAN reporter Amichai Stein wrote that this is a “possible
strike in west Damascus…heard all across the city.” Israeli media cited
accounts of eyewitnesses who claimed to see a column of smoke in the air over
Hadera. Additional reports were cited of people hearing loud explosions in
northern Israel.
